That's called "boots hockey" here.
(Alternatively, we also say "hockey cosom" and/or "hockey balle".)
The dynamics are actually closer to soccer than ice hockey, IMO. I've played all three for years. Sure, you use a stick rather than your feet, but the fact there's no momentum management make the game functionally much more like soccer. You can stop, turn, accelerate, position yourself, etc. exactly like in soccer.
All things considered, I prefer both soccer and this "soccer hockey" to ice hockey, I'd say. I suppose I'll have to turn in my Canadian card
